Writer or Humble Servant?
Ros Schwartz
Translation Masterclass in Malm on September 25
with Ros Schwartz
(Maximum 12 people)
Aimed at non-literary translators, this hands-on masterclass will focus on questions of style. No
experience of literary translation is needed this is an invitation to hone your writing skills. The
aim is for attendees to feel emboldened and to leave armed with concrete techniques they can
apply to their specific field of technical or commercial translation.
Ros Schwartz found that applying her literary translation skills to commercial work and
producing polished prose, no matter how mundane the subject matter or clunky the original text,
is one factor that sets top-end translators apart. And commercial translators offering stylistically
polished work adaptations rather than straightforward translations can charge higher rates and
build rewarding relationships with loyal customers. Part of the challenge lies in having the
confidence to see yourself as a writer rather than as a humble servant.
In this session we will analyse a range of English texts in translation to identify ways they can be
improved stylistically.
Note: This session is aimed not only at English mother-tongue translators. There will be plenty of
take-aways for translators working from other language combinations who have a very highlevel of English

Business Acceleration Masterclass for translators and interpreters in

Malm on September 25
with Chris Durban
(Maximum 15 people; participants should have at least 8 years
experience)
This four-hour masterclass is not for everyone.
Beginners? No. Part-timers? Probably not. Dabblers and ditherers? Definitely not.
It targets translators who have acquired enough experience to know that translation is for them.
Who are passionate about their work or who, facing price and other pressures, would dearly
like to rekindle that passion. Who are at a stage in their practice and life where they want to raise
the ante, and who are prepared to invest serious time and energy to position themselves in market
segments offering greater intellectual satisfaction and significantly higher financial rewards.
Join Chris Durban in Malm on September 25 for a hands-on masterclass with concrete input to
kickstart your practice. Content includes but is not limited to specialization, marketing and
pricing.
If you are an experienced professional translator or interpreter and are seriously interested in
moving your translation practice up a gear in 2016, this masterclass is for youregardless of
your language combination or current area of specialization.
